How do I compile file opened in editor when idle? [message #224190]

Hi,
I'm helping out writing a plugin for ruby development. We'd like to be
able to run a parser on the open ruby file after the user is idle for a
second or so inside the editor. This is so that we can update the
OutlinePage and create new markers. Perviously I had cheated and parsed
during the OutlinePage getElements calls, which achieved the behavior I
was looking for, but significantly slowed down the editing.

How does the JDT manage this? Do I need to have an IResourceListener and
filter for files changes to the opened file? How do I wait for the idle
period?

Thanks,
Chris

You may want to take a look at the Ant editor..a little simpler than JDT :-)
We do a background "reconcile" to update the Ant Model.
We wait about 500 ms once the document is marked dirty and then kick off the
updates.
